Is fiber optic cable a network medium

Fiber optic cables are a type of networking cable that uses light to transmit data. Unlike traditional copper cables that use electrical signals, fiber optics rely on pulses of light to carry information, making them faster and more efficient over long distances. They're designed for long-distance, high-performance data networking, and telecommunications. Compared to wired cables, fiber optic cables provide higher bandwidth and transmit data over longer. A fiber optic cable is a transmission medium that uses strands of glass or plastic fibers to carry data as pulses of light. [pdf]
